Love it! Boys 2 Men still has it, there are several songs on this album stuck in my head. There's even a little something on it for Goo Goo Doll fans: a Boys 2 Men version of Iris.

Old classic rock metal sound, very smooth and easy to listen too. Rather enjoyable album for a band thats been around the block since 1969.
The kids in these new bands just don't get it.

Comments: Their forth album has rubbed a few of the old skool fans the wrong way, as they have gone in a much more orchestral soundscape than their first 2 albums which had that distinctive choppy guitar sound. In my opinion this is Interpol heading towards the most mature, rich, tight, atmospheric album to date and to me represents their best. Somewhat a conceptual album, the last 3 songs (try it on, all of the ways, the undoing) are the best 3 piece line up to end an album on, $#@!ing epic.

Not as good as some of their previous albums. Has some good songs on it but just doesn't have the feel of Trivium like I'm used to. Not bad but definitely a down grade from previous albums. Overall solid though. If you like metal check out Caustic Are the Ties That Bind. Best song on the CD in my opinion. Very good and melodic solo and great vocals. Got it from Best Buy for $10.

More melodic but somewhat down tempo compared to their early albums. It's an evolution of their recent sound. Most of the harsh tones are gone, replaced by upbeat synth work but the driving bass is still there. Lyrics are typical of the past 2 or so albums. Themes of hope, courage, things aren't as bad as they seem positivity. There's one song on the album that's a throwback to their earlier style, which is a good thing but also a bit of a detraction. I like both styles equally, but the song doesn't exactly gel with the vibe of the rest of the album.

Overall I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10, definitely an album I can listen to in its entirety over and over.

Very good follow up album from their last album which was amazing. A little bit heavier than their last, more along the lines of their debut album. Some of the songs seem kind of the same but they are all pretty damn good.

Devin is well known in the metal community through SYL, but surprisingly not many also followed his solo albums. Recently his solo work has had tremendous and well deserved recognition. I decided to dig back a little into his catelogue and pull out an absolute gem. It's one of his more mellow albums, but still packs quite a punch. Has his signature wall of sound techniques. Heavily influeced by progressive rock, fans won't want to miss Devin's spin on the genre.

Somebody get me a doctor, I ain't feelin' ill ...But I ain't feelin' this at all...

Great soundtrack, written, composed and sang by Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam. He combines some folk music with rock and they blend really well. Some of my favorite tracks are Hard Sun and No Ceiling. And to top that off, they're in the movie which is a great movie you should all own on blu-ray.

Just show you youngsters what you're missing out on. His goddamn GODLYGOLDEN voice. Truly talented individual.

Lacrae- After the Music Stops
Genre: Christian Rap or Christian Hip Hop
Rating: 9 out of 10

The first song I heard off this album was "Praying for You". After listening to it a hundred times, I thought to myself, "This is a good album". I made a gamble and bought After the Music Stops. It was worth every penny.

The reason why I am not giving it a 10 out of 10 because I felt the album was a bit inconsistent. There were some songs I felt were not up to par with other songs, the main one being the first song on the album, "After the Music Stops". Jesus Musik was good but a lot of the songs in the beginning album I didn't like or didn't appeal to me. Then, I listened to "Send Me" and ever since after that song I haven't heard a song I didn't like. Even the very last song, which is mostly singing instead of rapping, is good.

Great album and I look forward to his next album, which is on it's way, "Rehab".

It's a good album, but not as good as "After the Music Stops". I feel like After the Music Stops leans more toward true rap while Rehab leans more toward pop or a mixture of pop and Rap. It's still a good album, but I feel disappointed in Rehab, I was expecting it to be better. The best songs on the album are really "Killa" and "New Shalom". "40 Deep" gets an honorable mention. This album was more consistent than After the Music Stops in quality. After a good song, you hear another good song. BUT, one reason why After the Music Stops was better because the OVERALL quality is better. You may hear an average song, but the next song could be excellent. Do I regret buying Rehab? No, but if I had money to only buy one of Lacrae's albums, I'd pick After the Music Stops without hesitation.

I got the deluxe version of Rehab which includes Rehab: Overdose. I may review it.
